In New England

Article Abstract:

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 has brightened the future of New England's Mashantucket Pequot tribe. The compact agreement with the state of Connecticut has witnessed the opening of the Foxwoods Casino Resorts and the revival of fortunes for this American Indian tribe. Foxwoods is currently the biggest donor to the local and state coffers and has helped create additional jobs to help drive the state's resurgent economy. The legalization of games of chance have assured tremendous social and economic benefits to the Pequot tribals.

Loaves, fishes and cereal yields

Article Abstract:

There is an alarmist view that the world's population is growing faster than food production. The population is likely to rise by over 90 million people annually for the next two decades. However, annual world cereal yields will probably continue to rise by around 45 kg per hectare as they have since the late 1950s. The population has been growing faster than cereal output since 1984.
